    Mag Source for a 745?

    I picked up a pretty decent Model 745 a few months ago, and it's rapidly growing on me. The problem is that it only came with one magazine, and original standard-capacity mags are spendy, if you can even find them. I did find one on GoneBroker, but it cost me $80 or more before it was over...

    Can You Reverse a Mag Release on a 45 Shield?

    Hi all, I've had my Shield 45 for a year or two now, carry it off duty constantly, and shoot it better than I should. I also carry an M&P 40 on duty, and I swapped the mag release over to the right side for faster mag changes. I sniffed around online, but I can't find any threads about doing...

    For Sale S&W 36-1 Three Inch Sq Butt

    I am the second owner of this J-frame cutie, it was fired little by the original owner nor me, probably less than 100 rounds through it altogether, 15 by me to check function. This is the 36-1 with the square butt, the grips that came with it were horrid so I replaced them with a pair of Craig...

    AA-5 Loads in 38 Special are HOT!

    I've used Accurate Arms #5 for many years with complete satisfaction, and when other powders were hard to find a few months back, I grabbed several more pounds of it to use in my 38 loads. I train with Plus-P ammo because I want factory-level performance when I train, so none of my loads are...

    DOB Help and "Value" Question, M29-2

    A friend has a nice 4" M-29 dash two with the nickel finish, and is thinking about selling it to finance another purchase. He loves the gun but rarely shoots it, it probably hasn't seen 200 rounds through the barrel in all the time he's had it. He also has the presentation case, but no box...

    Grip Screw Size/Thread pitch?

    I'm always on the hunt for more grips (stocks) for my assorted K- and N-frame S&W's, and I've found several decent sets lately, but most have come without the grip screw. I've searched Midway's website and a few others, but I can't ever seem to find them for in stock or sale at anything...

    NOT Happy with New Sight Blades

    I've picked up several used S&W revolvers in the past year, and some of them needed a little love and attention. Two of them had obviously been dropped on the rear sight, and the sight blades needed replacing. So I got online and ordered three news rear sight blades with the white outline...

    Interesting Old 22 I Won............

    Here's a cute little surprise I picked up recently..........a S&W Model 43, dating to 1958, according to a friend. I got a call from a gunshop in Georgia telling me I'd won an auction on Gunbroker, I had bid on several guns and didn't remember much about this one. It's a 3.5" alloy J-frame with...

    SOLD! Brand New Tyler T-Grip for sale, $50

    I bought this a few years ago, thinking I might someday need it. That hasn't happened, I prefer grips that do the same thing. It's never been on a gun. I have NO packaging for it, apparently I threw it away. It is the brushed aluminum finish, with a copper clamp. $50 and I'll pay the...

    WTS K/L Frame Combat Stocks

    These came on my 3-inch 686-6, and they're pretty, but don't fit my hand. I'm asking $80 for them, I'll pay shipping to the 50 states. Right of Refusal ok, they came off the gun the moment I got it home, no dings or scratches but they were a bear to get off the gun, fitted VERY tightly. They...

    Another Retread........

    I used to spend a lot of time on here, but seeing all the pictures of beautiful Smiths was making me crazy, and I had to let it go. I spend a lot of time on the MarlinOwners forum, but I'm still a revolver guy at heart, and I still have several of DHart's photos on my computer. Good gun porn...
